One major stumble block in GTK backend development is a monstrocious string-oriented API for setting widget properties. There's a more low-level one, but it's depricated. FYI, development of backend happens as we speak [1]. [1]:

Unlike the majority of startups in crypto space, the team is actually dedicated to bring the value to this ecosystem. Ethereum roller-coaster forced a constant change of plans, but, as far as I know, no one ditched gived promises and just m

Garbage collector (and the whole runtime library) is written in Red/System, not in Red.

Your comment itself is extremely naive and misinformed. Red toolchain relies on Red/System DSL, which is a C-level language with manual memory management.

Rebol family of languages (including Red) uses near equivalents of fexprs. Here's a self-modifying function ;^) >> foo: has [x][append body-of context? 'x [+ 1] 1] == func [/local x][append body-of context? '

This belongs to "pure gold dust" category of my neurofeedback-related readings. Makes a good point about the prevalence of data dredging in scientific (and esp. medical) communities.

Some AV vendors (notably Avast, AVG, Avira, McAffee, Norton and Windows Defender) use extremely poor heuristics and never actually tweak them, instead just whitelisting a given file. You think that if false positive in a compiler or runtime

Except that it doesn't. ":" in "x:" is not an assignment operator and "x" is not a variable.

Uhm... Red: Red [] print "hello world" Red/System: Red/System [] print "hello world" Both are compiled with ./red -c file . "Rough", you say?

Even title of this [1] blog post didn't ring a bell? It doesn't make much sense to cash out raised ETH now, because of the bear market. [1] : https://www.red-lang.org/2018/01/red-token-sale-success.html

If you know C - all it takes to start with R/S is to read language specs [1]. What specific problems do you have with compilation? [1] : https://static.red-lang.org/red-system-specs.html

My graduate project at university was about air-gap malware, soft TEMPEST and hacking on industrial PLCs (S7-300, Stuxnet and all that :P). What terrified me most is not only the state of ICS nowadays (it's pretty much fucked), but als

You're welcome! I actually rather interested in DSL creation myself and want to dabble my feet in this topic sometime. And I also feel that creation of dialects is rather obscure art for old-timers, and that there's a need for lea

This is a valid concern. As I understood from my discussion with Nenad (lead developer), making such move was a hard decision to make. On the one hand, it MAY actually pay-off in a long term for whole language ecosystem overall, but on the

s/Naned/Nenad I recently got interested in J too by the way, how do you use this language and Lisps in your work?

Don't be so narrow-minded. Buzzwords and cryptocurrencies speculations aside, Red is really worth checking, at least if you're a language enthusiast and is interested in Forth and Lisp family. And here blockchain is nothing more t

It might get hairy if DSL is non-trivial, IIRC Doc has plans to implement meta-DSL wrapper (a la Rascal) sometime after 1.0 launch to ease the process.

Yes, Avira, Avast (and recently Norton) give us a ton of headaches because of their bad heuristics. Just to show you how they don't really care, here's a tweet discussion with Avira (dated July): https://twitter.com&#x2

Every word (the thing what author calls a "variable") has a binding. In short, it's a pointer to the namespace where value associated with that word resides. Blocks can nest any other value, including words. At any point in r

by 9214 9y ago
To clarify: - unevaluated expressions are called blocks, and with them the line between code and data blurs, since you can treat block as either one at any time (homoiconity); - there're no scopes, only namespaces (contexts); - yes, Pa
